Conversation 1
Billy：Cathy，what's the course of cornmeal called？
Cathy：Oh，it's hush puppy.
Billy：Hush puppy？Sounds interesting. Why does it contain“puppy”in its name？
Cathy：I heard one version of the story. There's an African cook in Atlanta.One day，when he was frying cornmeal and catfish，a puppy began to howl.In order to make the puppy quiet，he gave it a bowl of cornmeal and ordered，“Hush，puppy.”Then，the name becomes popular.
Billy：Wow，how interesting it is.
Cathy：Oh，yeah. But I think"ush puppy"is better to be named"hush billy".
Billy：Why？
Cathy：That's because you always feel excited and lick your lips when I fry hush puppies.
Billy：Hah，that's true.
对话1：
比利：凯西，这玉米粉做的饼叫什么呀？
凯西：叫油炸玉米饼呀。
比利：油炸玉米饼？挺有意思的。那为什么它的名字里有“小狗”这个词呢？
凯西：我听说过这样一个故事：亚特兰大的一位非洲厨师，一天，他在油炸玉米饼和鲶鱼的时候，小狗嚷叫起来，他给小狗一碗玉米饼，然后下令“安静，小狗”。从此这个名字就流传开来了。
比利：哇，真有意思。
凯西：嗯，但是我觉得这道菜叫“安静，比利”更合适。
比利：为什么？
凯西：因为每次我油炸玉米饼的时候，你总是非常兴奋，垂涎欲滴。

The population of the Southern United States is made up of many different peoples who came to the region in a variety of ways，each contributing to what is now called"Southern cooking."American Indians，native to the region，taught European settlers to grow and cook corn，a grain unknown in Europe at the time. Spanish explorers in the 1500sbrought pigs with them，introducing pork to the region.West Africans carried some of their traditional foods with them，such as watermelon，eggplant，collard greens，and okra，when they were brought to the United States by force as slaves beginning in the 1600s.Creoles，known for their unique use of spices，are descended from French and Haitian immigrants who later mingled with Spanish settlers in the New Orleans area."Cajuns，"also recognized for their unique style of cooking，were originally Acadians，French settlers in Nova Scotia who were driven out by the British in 1755 and made their way to New Orleans.In Louisiana，crawfish（resemble miniature lobsters）and catfish are popular，prepared in dozens of different ways.Fried catfish is popular all across the South.Texas's spicy and flavorful"Tex-Mex"cuisine reflects the state's close proximity to the spicy cuisine of Mexico.
美国南部人口由来自世界不同地区的人组成，因此形成独具特色的南部美食风味。印第安人土著居民给欧洲移民传授玉米的种植，在欧洲，人们都没见过这种植物。16世纪西班牙探险者们带来了圈养猪，猪肉成为家常美食。17世纪，非洲人被送往美洲做奴隶时，也带来他们的传统食物，比如西瓜、茄子、甘蓝叶，还有秋葵荚。克里奥尔人喜欢吃辣味，由法国人和海地人带入美国，世代相传，并与新奥尔良地区的西班牙移民者的食物融合。卡津风味由阿卡迪亚人创造，他们是法国移民者的后裔，1755年被英国人驱赶到新奥尔良地区，他们的食物也因此自成一派。在路易斯安那州，小龙虾和鲶鱼非常受欢迎，有不同的烹饪方式。油炸鲶鱼在南部大受欢迎。德克萨斯州的“德克萨斯-墨西哥”辛辣风味，与墨西哥辣味有千丝万缕的联系。
